Student researchers from around the world gather yearly for the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM). This high-intensity event engages student-led teams from major universities worldwide to design, work on, and present novel synthetic biology projects that address real-world problems. The University of Maryland iGEM team, which is composed of 16 multidisciplinary students, including 13 ILS students, and 2 faculty advisors, traveled to the iGEM Jamboree in Boston from September 24-28, 2015, competing and collaborating with 250 teams from around the world. Building on last year’s success, UMaryland iGEM was awarded another gold medal, for approaches to accelerate the construction of new biodesigns. The team’s new method for plasmid maintenance without the use of antibiotics and the construction of an inexpensive thermocycler using parts from a hairdryer also earned one of five nominations for best new application. The team developed the projects, performed laboratory research over the summer, conducted an extensive study of human practices related to the project, developed a Wiki page that described the project, raised $25,500 for lab supplies and travel costs, and presented a poster and an oral presentation at the competition. The team is currently recruiting team members for the 2016 iGEM competition.

He has developed a variety of genetic tools to manipulate the gonococcal genome, allowing him to generate strains with defined surface structures. Using these strains and the technologies that he has develop, he is dissecting the role that various surface molecules play in gonococcal pathogenesis. His current research focuses on how colonization by GC can result in asymptomatic infection, especially in women. He is examining the role of the opacity protein (Opa) and its interaction with lipooligosaccharide in gonococcal pathogenesis. While many papers have been published that support the hypothesis that Opa is a key GC invasin, promoting GC entry into cells, his research suggests that Opa can contribute to disease in additional ways. Using a strain where all 11 opa genes were deleted, he found that this strain invaded into cervical tissue explants much better than Opa-expressing bacteria. Since Opa expression leads to significant bacterial clumping, it suggests that this Opa function may be highly relevant to preventing invasive GC disease, and the inability to induce symptoms. A second research project focuses on various aspects of neisserial phage biology. He believes that their functionality plays an essential role in virulence. Students use molecular genetic, cellular, immunological bioinformatic and biochemical techniques to further our understanding of gonococcal disease. He co-founded SD Nanosciences, a biotechnology company focused on utilizing surfactant vesicle technology for gonococcal vaccine development and drug delivery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/542ec48ee4b020937bb7c3d1/f28d3f85-b765-4208-8027-ba6accd4b806/Hassel_Bret.jpg Seminar Speaker Profiles - Dr. Brett Hassel, Ph.D. Dr. Hassel received his B.S. from the University of Miami and his Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University in 1989. Following postdoctoral fellowships at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Dr. Hassel joined the faculty of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine in 1995. Research in my laboratory focuses on the endonuclease RNase-L that functions in host defense from microbial pathogens and as an endogenous constraint on cell proliferation. I and co-workers were the first to clone RNase-L over 20 years ago and subsequent work from my lab has contributed significantly to our current understanding of its biochemical and biological activities. The long-term goal of my work is to determine the mechanisms by which RNase-L mediates innate immune and tumor suppressor functions with the objective of modulating these activities for therapeutic applications. In addition to my research activities as a PI and laboratory mentor, I serve in multiple training, education and outreach capacities as central components of my professional activities. I am Director of the Molecular Microbiology and Immunology graduate program, have taught in nine graduate and medical school courses and was named Teacher of the Year in 2013. I have served on the thesis committees of over 60 students and directly mentored 33 postdoctoral, graduate and undergraduate trainees. I am PI of the undergraduate Nathan Schnaper Intern Program in Translational Cancer Research and Co-Chair of Funding and Sustainability for the NCI-funded UMB Continuing Umbrella of Research Experience (CURE) minority STEM education pipeline. I serve additional training roles as co-PI and investigator on the NIGMS-funded minority Science Training for Advancing Biomedical Research Post-baccalaureate Research and Education Program and the NIAID Signaling Pathways in Innate Immunity T32 training grant. My educational activities has emphasized training the next generation of researchers and caregivers including BUILD/ASCEND and MBRS RISE at Morgan State University, Pre-Marc-U-STARs and Meyerhoff Scholars at UMBC and Bridges to the Doctorate with Towson University https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/542ec48ee4b020937bb7c3d1/7c1bfeb5-22cc-4663-a73c-a9fd2c8b8f70/Carey_Gregory.jpg Seminar Speaker Profiles - Dr. Gregory Carey, Ph.D. Dr. Carey’s research seeks understanding the signals that drive proliferation, growth and survival in lymphoma as well as other cancers. His team has been focused on cytokine and B cell receptor signals that relay life or death information in lymphoma. More recently, the group has discovered that aggressive B cell lymphoma re-purpose certain reactive oxygen species (ROS) and use these ROS for their survival benefits. Moreover, the lymphoma appear to modulate these ROS-dependent survival programs via a specific antioxidant pathway. Our focus is on identifying the molecular players in these processes. Dr. Carey is Director of Student Summer Research and Community Outreach in the Office of Student Research (OSR) at the School of Medicine. In this capacity, Dr. Carey has developed tools and programs and assists his colleagues in providing quality medical research education in the School of Medicine. He also directs the Program for Research Initiated by Students and Mentors (PRISM) and the MPower supported undergraduate pipeline program, UM Scholars. Both programs provide rich, structured, intense, immersive research experiences to medical and undergraduate students onsite at Recognizing a need for diversification of the biomedical research workforce, Dr. Carey is very active in direct mentoring and in building programs that enhance achievement and diverse participation and in the sciences and in medicine. He has served, and serves on national committees and networks dedicated to fostering and nurturing excitement in science, medicine and research. Dr. Carey’s outreach activities serve to collaboratively bridge the Community and the School of Medicine.
